Mexico Family Gives $55M to Build Israel Rehab Hospital
A Mexican family just donated $55 million to build a state-of-the-art rehabilitation hospital in Tel Aviv that will help thousands recover from injuries and trauma. The new facility will nearly double patient capacity and feature healing-focused design that opens to the community.
The Jusidman family has committed $55 million toward building a new rehabilitation hospital in Tel Aviv, making it one of the largest single donations in Israeli healthcare history. The gift will transform how thousands of patients recover from accidents, strokes, and trauma.
The donation enables the $390 million Jusidman Rehabilitation Hospital project at Sde Dov in north Tel Aviv. Construction starts soon and will take six years to complete.
The new facility will expand from 350 beds to 540 beds, helping far more patients get the specialized rehabilitation care they need. Right now, the existing Reuth Hospital in southern Tel Aviv treats people recovering from accidents, seniors regaining mobility, and those healing from psychological trauma.
Patients stay anywhere from a few weeks to much longer depending on their needs. The hospital also runs an outpatient clinic serving 130 people weekly for pain management and eating disorders.
The Ripple Effect
The new hospital breaks the mold of traditional medical facilities. Designers are using "salutogenic architecture," which studies how building design affects healing and community health.
There will be no fences around the campus. The therapy pool may open to neighbors, and the grounds will include housing, shops, and even a rehabilitation technology incubator where researchers develop new tools to help patients recover.
Dr. Hila Oren of the Tel Aviv Foundation says the goal is creating "an open institution" that strengthens the whole neighborhood. The building will also protect patients during emergencies, unlike the current facility.
The Jusidman family built their fortune through Truper, a major tool company in Latin America founded by Daniel Jusidman's father. Now 91, Daniel has spent decades supporting Israeli causes including hospital emergency departments, centers for abused children, and cancer treatment facilities.
The Tel Aviv municipality is swapping land to make the project possible and providing financial support alongside Israel's Ministry of Health.
Thousands of families will find hope and healing in a hospital designed to lift spirits while mending bodies.
